TMJ Massage Buffalo NY
Temporal Mandibular Joint Disorder Massage
Pain is the most common TMJ symptom. The pain may result in a dull ache in the jaw joint and nearby areas, including the ear or neck area, however some sufferers result in more restrictions with the use of their jaw more so than pain.
TMJ or TMJ Dysfunction can be caused by numerous factors, including misalignment of the jaw, dental work, surgery, arthritis, bruxism (grinding), jaw clenching, stress, sinus or ear infections, neck misalignment, inflammation, whiplash, trauma, or other local injury in the cervical area.
Symptoms can include jaw pain or clicking or popping in or around the joint, headaches, toothaches, earaches or tinnitus, dizziness, nausea, sinus pressure or pain, clenching, reduced ability to open or close the mouth, or pain when biting or chewing, as well as neck, shoulder or back pain.
Massage therapy can help to relieve the muscle tension and relax the muscles by working trigger point areas and restrictions around the jaw, head and neck. This massage will focus toward the reduction of tension in the masticatory muscles, releasing tension in the fascia, and elimination of trigger points.
